Re: printf() woes

Hi. I'm using newlib 1.14 on an Atmel ARM processor, and printf() is behaving strangely.

The following code

    printf("1. Hello worldCRLF1\r\n");
    printf("2. Hello worldCRLF\r\n");
    printf("3. Hello worldCRLF\r\nHello worldCRLF\r\n");
    printf("4. Hello worldLF\nHello worldLF\n");
    printf("5. Hello worldNULL");
    printf("6. Hello worldLF\n");

prints:

3. Hello worldCRLF1
4. Hello worldLF
                Hello worldLF6. Hello worldLF

Using snprintf() works just fine.


Did you attempt to write the result out?


Newlib's printf() is doing something with newlines, and printf() calls without newline, and not handling it the way I really want. Perhaps it's a configuration things somewhere, but I don't really know where to look.

Any suggestions?


I would suggest upgrading to newlib 1.16.0 to see if any fixes were made that solve your problem. Looking through the ChangeLog, none are obvious, but it still helps to be current so others can better help you.


Next, I would suggest debugging inside _sfvwrite() to see what it thinks it is doing. I would also suggest putting breakpoints inside the _write syscall to see what it is being called with each time. This should help you pinpoint the problem.
